'An actor', Agnes Latham observes, 'can be trusted to get himself off the stage when he is no longer required'; so 'Exits do not concern the prompter in the same way as entrances'. But though in the 'satire keen, has been too hastily dismissed.

For an observer on the North Pole, the sun reaches the highest position in the sky once a year in June.

The day this occurs is called the June solstice day.

Dates of performance are often of limited use, as in many cases the first recorded performance of a given play does not represent the first actual performance of that play.

For example, the first recorded performance of Romeo and Juliet was not until 1662, but it is known that the play was definitely performed during Shakespeare's lifetime.

Shakespearean scholars, beginning with Edmond Malone in 1778, have attempted to reconstruct the relative chronology of Shakespeare's oeuvre by various means, using external evidence (such as references to the plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries in both critical material and private documents, allusions in other plays, entries in the Stationers' Register, and records of performance and publication), and internal evidence (allusions within the plays to contemporary events, composition and publication dates of sources used by Shakespeare, stylistic analysis looking at the development of his style and diction over time, and the plays' context in the contemporary theatrical and literary milieu).

Most modern chronologies are based on the work of E. Chambers in "The Problem of Chronology" (1930), published in his book William Shakespeare: A Study of Facts and Problems, Vol. Due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving evidence, there is no such thing as a definitive or precise chronology, nor can there be.

The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the day when this occurs.

The day of the solstice has either the most sunlight of the year (summer solstice) or the least sunlight of the year (winter solstice) for any place other than the equator.

The First derives, as we shall see, from both these sorts of material. Imperfectly specific directions are an acknowledged sign of foul-paper copy, since for performance, and therefore at the prompt-book stage, decisions must have been arrived at. Variation in the designations of characters, as with 'Clownes' and 'rabble' denoting in groups persons elsewhere individually named, has been recognized as indicating foul-paper copy ever since Mc Kerrow pointed out how it would inconvenience a prompter, and how naturally it would come to a dramatist, thinking of his stage-people now in this way, now in that. There is no significant discrepancy (such as Aldis Wright saw here ) between Titania's account and Stowe's, at least when we remember how much of Titania's is of literary origin, from Ovid, Seneca, and , and need not be expected to fit the historical facts.
